Hi, I'm Mónica. I like to know the places I visit, to understand a little bit more, the place and people.
So, I'm hoping to show you my hometown, and seduce you to come and return, because it is small, but it has so much history and beauty places to enjoy.
On this tour I will try to show you the main points in the town: Main square (Praça da Republica), the synagogue, the church of St. Francis of Sissi´s, the match box museum, the church of st maria, the church of st iria, and even the gardens (Mouchão and 7 hill garden)... and if you really like to walk, we can climb together to another church (N. Srª da Piedade), and even walk (or by car) go to the Pegões aquaduct.
Monica is very knowledgeable and very patient, answered numerous questions. Excellent service.
Monica was a fantastic guide. She had so much information and made the history come alive. And she is so kind.
The tour was great. Monica is knowledgeable, friendly, and able to accommodate our special interests.
We had a wonderful experience with Mónica from GuruWalks. Since the monuments in town were closed for the day, she offered a great alternative and took the time to show us Knight's Templar Castle and Convent of Christ. Her knowledge, passion, and warm personality made the visit both fun and insightful. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the history and culture of the area in a personal and engaging way! Thank you, Mónica!
The tour is extremely informative and gave me a history lesson that I didn’t get anywhere else with all my previous trips to Portugal. Monica loves history and it shows. She brought us through the town, to churches, the Knight’s Templar Castle, and a synagogue. Monica is very knowledgeable and is extremely kind. She drove us up the mountain and drove us to the train station. Take this tour. You won’t regret it. Just make sure that you wear comfortable walking shoes to trek up steep hills, take water, and a hat. If you are hungry get food in the middle of the town as the food spots by the train station are not as reliable.
